I know I've had a couple run ins with the law... But I was surprised that when I saw a cop come after me, I just booked it right out of there! I didn't even think about it, I had no idea that was in me...

Depends on what you consider running I guess. To me I'd like to consider that I might hide if that's possible. For example if they're far enough back and I'm on the interstate and can make a quick/cautious exit. Once off the exit I'd hope to cautiously pull in somewhere and stop and hope that they pass me. I'd never run from a LEO in the streets or through intersections. I'd pretty much just pull over and hope for my best interests.

For the most part though...no....it's too risky to my health and reputation among friends in my opinion.

You know he hasn't gotten your tag, do you split?

Firebladz.

This is still not a good point. How many people say "hey I will just Drink and Drive after 3am. Nobody should be on the streets then, and look how many people are killed in the wee hours of the morning from the drunk drivers!!!

I say no way about running, unless if it is they way Athemon mentioned where I don't have to have a huge rapid of speed and very quick nervous decisions!!!!

OK I votede sometimes because just like they said, if you can make the decision with a clear head and you don't have to push any sort of limits, including endangering your self or others, yeah I would do it, have done it. Very seldomly can you do that though so for the most part yes it is a bad idea. I was with a buddy once(who is a cop) and we had another cop turn around on us, we pulled off on the next gravel road and then on another that was parralel to the one we were on and watched and listened while she chased the air down the highway and told the dispatcher the wrong kind of vehicle. We had a scanner in the truck and it was extremely comical. That was the night before I came in the navy.
